  1.  @gsau3000  69 is a holy number in the adult industry, a sexual position ment to orally pleasure each other at the same time. Hence the 6 and the 9. For adolescent people or those who did sexually not developed past that age, this number is somewhat sensational and holy. It is actually very pathetic.....

  2.  Nordav Devito  We talk again with new, yet to be invented, technology when you are at that age. You are quite insulting actually. i think this is your lack of intelligence.

  3. On the background you can hear that tens of people got scammed simultaneously. Disturbing. People, we can't say it enough. Microsoft DOES NOT, i repeat, DOES NOT call you for any reason. If you have a problem with your computer, ask a teenager in your family or go to your local computer store. NEVER, i repeat, NEVER deal with your computer problem by phone. If someone call you for a "computer problem "END THE CALL WITHOUT TALK A SINGLE WORD WITH THEM. and if you can BLOCK THEIR NUMBER. Last but not least; NEVER EVER GIVE AWAY ANY PASSWORD, CODE, LOGIN OR WHATSOEVER!

  4. I think you are right. Those who got scammed this way are often not the brightest people. But are people responsible for the level of intelligence which they are born with? My answer is obviously no, they are not. They would not understand the details behind scamming as a computer is a godlike machine for them. So they need help. In this situation, maybe the only way to help them is gently enforce that help on them. If needed, and if possible, shut down the computer for them. because sooner or later they will believe the scammers. Another thing i hear is how stupid scammers are. Are they?, or do they act like that? They are obvious not computer experts, but on the other side they are smart enough to understand that their harsh, insulting and intimidating way of handling their victims bring panic and with that a successful scam. They are less stupid as some scambaiters give them credits for. Most scammers are way richer as most scambaiters.....
